To begin with, they made changes from 2 the traditional greyhound yearbook, to make this years book extra special. After all, with the past year we’ve had, it couldn’t be called 3 anything less than exciting. As far as accomplishments of the annual staff, they had their best year ever selling ads. Their small but 4. determined staff matched or surpassed many of the larger schools in Nebraska in their sales during the year. The class started out with only four students at the beginning of the year, gaining two more the next semester. 2 Mr. Skrovan looks ovei the days schedule.

Included in her visit was the performance of a one-person play and a soul food tasting dinner. Tony and Joey Gulizia came back again to spend a week teaching students about jazz music, capping off their residency with a concert with the swing choir and stage band. Students and faculty alike were treated to two concerts this year, one by the Kearney High swing choir and jazz ensemble, and one by the CCC Cantari. Our final visitor this year was Sheri Cole, an artist involved with drama and speech students as well as working with the elementary.

The Greyhound Band had a very busy and exciting year this past year at HHS, with many parades, concerts, clinics, and contests filling their year’s schedule. The band started off the year by traveling to Lincoln to Perform for the first time ever at the State Fair. Marching season had its share of interesting moments, from drummers standing on their heads, to “Devo” glasses, to army-like chants off the field. The group traveled to Grand Island for the Harvest of Harmony parade in October, and came away with a fine showing, finishing second in the street marching. After the Christmas concert, the Gulizia Brothers visited us once again in January, performing a concert with the stage band and swing choir. Following band clinic in March at Campbell, the band once again traveled to Minden for District Music Contest, receiving a “good” rating for their efforts, while the Stage Band received an “excellent” rating. Adding to all this during the year were two trips by the pep band to Lincoln to help support HHS teams in volleyball and basketball state competitions. 1.

The girls in the group once again did a fine job of bringing a strong sound to an otherwise small ensemble. But it was in the boys of the mixed chorus where a building of confidence was seen by many in the community, and it was with that confidence that the mixed chorus and swing choir achieved a great deal of success this past year. The chorus, directed again last year by Mr. Skrovan, once again traveled to the NSCC Choral Clinic, held this year in Bladen, as well as performing for the Christmas and Spring Concerts, and District Music Contest in Minden. The Mixed Chorus received an excellent rating at Contest, with the other smaller ensembles and soloists receiving either excellent (II) or superior (I) ratings. 1.

One last look at Swing Choir ... the 1983-84 edition of the Hildreth Swing Choir enjoyed an excellent year, traveling across the state, performing for many groups, and showing that a lot of hard work truly does pay off. The group, picked by audition for students in grades 9 - 12, began rehearsing last September and among their performances were shows at the NSCC Choral Clinic, the Midland Jazz Festival in Fremont, the NRCSA State Convention in Kearney, along with performances for schools in Arnold and Callaway. The Swing Choir spent many long hours before and after school and on weekends preparing for performances, and its members should be congratulated for their efforts, as well as those of this year’s alternates, Brent Hinrichs, Amy Jo DeJonge and Valerie Russell, who all filled in excellently when members became ill or injured. Next year looks to be just as exciting, with the group expanding from six to ten couples and more opportunities for performances ahead. Speech Team Wins District, individual Awards One last look at our Speech team this past year shows us a year full of awards and accomplishments. This year’s One-Act Play, entitled “Tobacco, Lemonade Crowder Peas”, won their district and performed well at the state competition held in Cozad, receiving an excellent rating. Troy Casper received the Outstanding Actor Award at both the conference and district levels.

On Tuesday, April 3rd, seven new members were initiated into Hildreth’s Chapter of the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society is an organization sponsored by the National Association of Principals, with membership being based on Service, Scholarship, Character, and Citizenship. The students are voted on by a panel of teachers to determine if they will become a member, but must also carry a grade average of above 90% to be eligible. The new members in 1984 were Curtis Bauer, Wanda Dallmann, Brent Hinrichs, Jill Hinrichs, Jeff Johnson, Susan Pollock, and Brenda Swarthout. For these seven new members, National Honor Society is a recognition long deserved for all their hard work and efforts.

As the Freshman class entered high school, they discovered many more opportunities and greater challenges than ever before. As a class, they had a cheese and sausage sale, which became a tremendous success. They also had a lot of fun at Homecoming, the Band’s trip to the State Volleyball Tournament, and so much more. The Freshmen also got their first taste of varsity sports this past year, showing well during the playing time they received. The class has enjoyed their initial year in high school, and they are looking forward to the years to come. DARREN SCHENK ROBERT ALBERTS.

A V CLASS PROPHECY ■:c« i' Here it is, 1994. And the Senior Class of 1984, is gathering at Harmon Park. This time not for Senior pictures, but for their 10 year reunion. Past president Judy Kruse begins the meeting with the roll call. Everyone is present but Linda Stratman whom we see running through the park with her shoes untied once again. Oops, she tripped! As Jamie Alberts rushs over to help her up, she notices that the fall has caused numerous marks on her neck. Jamie assists Linda to the gathering while telling her of all of her undercover cases. Judy now asks for the treasurer's report. Class treasurer Jeff Johnson is assisted to the front by two women in white. After the report he explains that his role in the Senior Class Play has haunted him throughout the years. And even though he doesn't live in an Asylum he still complains that he gets no cookies. Realizing that we still have money in our treasury, the class has voted to donate half to Greg Frecks, who has just opened his own John Deere Toy Company called, “Tweet’s Big J D’s next to The Clothing Tree.” The remaining half of the money will be donated to Brian Frerichs for his remodeling business. His motto reads, I’m in charge, I got the authority, and I got the hammer.” Glancing down the picnic table we see Nicole Frerichs sitting there with a police escort. She looks a little bedraggled and out of sorts as a result of the long drive from Franklin. We all admire her brouche made from four class rings. Across from Nicole sits Loree Hinrichs. She tells us that she is teaching overseas and in her spare time serves as a U S 0 Entertainer. A whine is heard in the background and everyone turns to find that Rick Putnam has once again broken his leg. This seems to be a reaccurance of the graduation (beep) in 1982. Deb Dallmann and Val Russell are showing everyone the photo album of their double wedding which took place in 1984. Valerie now owns her own Art Gallery in Paris while Deb's name appears in the Guiness Book of World Records for the fasted typing fingers in the world. Lisa and Rod now hold a criminal record for P.D.A. (Public Display of Affection). They have since served their time and are on parole for not so good behaviour. Lisa Johnson, now storming to the end of the table, still has steam running out of her ears after attending the battle of the red heads. Even after 10 years she continues to prove Mr. Lienemann right. Lance Jelden, who is now a Boya racer, has had enough evidence to withstand all his injuries without feeling them. Troy Casper, who is now a professional actor, and will be starring in his next film, The Blue Jeans” with Brooke Shields, has promised to display his acting talents. However, Judy Kruse, has stepped in, and with her pillow imported from Kansas, has begun a game of cherades. As the gathering comes to an end, we find that our lives have been successful and our class motto has proven true.

The Hounds got off to a slow start this season because many players were plagued with injuries. The season started with a close game at Guide Rock. Kelly Warnken led the Hounds to victory, as he was on the receiving end of the game winning pass. Kelly went on to lead the Hounds in receiving with 181 total yards. The squad was spurred on by quarterback Rod Hunt, who led the passing attack with a total of 303 yards. Throughout this season, the Hounds’ only losses were to teams who ended up their season in the state playoffs. Lance Jelden’s 776 total rush- ing yards also helped the Hounds. Leading the defense were Curtis Schmidt and Curtis Bauer with 84 tackles apiece. This was a building year for the Hounds as many of the younger members of the team gained valuable experience. Congratulations to those team members who received the following recognition: Jeff Johnson was named First Team All Conference as both an offensive and defensive guard; Kelly Warnken received All Conference Honorable Mention as an offensive end; Curtis Bauer received All Conference Honorable Mention as a defen- sive back; and Lance Jelden was named to the Kearney Daily Hub All Area Second Team as a defensive back.

Winning wasn’t everything to the team this year, the experi- ence and understanding they all worked for really showed in their ability.

Jiv. Lady Hounds Strive To Achieve Success The Hildreth Junior Varsity Girls Basketball Team had an “up and down’’ season, win- ning a few, then losing some close games, but finishing strong in the end, beating Orleans 23-11. The season was a lot of fun with everyone working hard and doing their best. The team was coached this year by Crale Bauer, who returned to Hil- dreth to begin his coaching career after attending Kearney State. Many of the girls showed a great deal of improvement throughout the year, and will be ready to do their share on the varsity next season.

This late played game tired the Hounds and proved to lead to the downfall of the Hounds the following night against Lexing- ton St. Ann’s. Despite this loss, the Hounds still had a very successful season, going 20-1 and winning the Conference, District, and Regional championships. Good luck in the future. 4 GO TO STATE!

After winning both District and Regional championships, the girls suffered their only other loss to Rising City. This was an overtime game in the opening round of the State Tournament. The girls ended up with a respectable second place state ranking. A Bright Future For The Hounds Even though the Junior Varsity Basketball Team had a disap- pointing record, they played very well. The leading scorers for the Hounds were Clark Bauer with an 11.6 scoring average per game, and Kelly Warnken, with a 10.9 average. The rebound effort of Jeff Johnson and Kelly Warnken also helped the team. The squad exhibited a great deal of improvement throughout the year and anxiously await next year’s varsity season.

The theme was “Wouldn’t Have Missed It For The World and the Juniors made this prom special by decorating the gym to look like a medieval castle, complete with drawbridge and fire-breathing dragon. Even the servers were dressed as medieval minstrels, as they served a fine prime rib dinner prepared by Danny Chan of the Peppermill in Kearney. Following dinner, Toastmistress Becky Schwartz began the evening by introducing this year’s guest speaker, Pastor David Bronstad of the Campus Lutheran Church in Kearney. He spoke on small town living and on having a positive attitude toward life.
